Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Prediction: Will the Eagles be able to ruin United's excellent form again?

Manchester United will face Crystal Palace in the 22nd round of the English Premier League at home. The rescheduled first-round game did not end well for the Red Devils, as they lost in the penalty shootout. Will the Eagles be able to ruin United's excellent form again?

United is getting closer to winning the long-awaited trophy. The Devils' last three games have been in two Cups. The team dealt with Reading (3:1) at home and confidently advanced to the round of 16 in the FA Cup. They also scored five unanswered goals against Nottingham Forest in their two League Cup semi-finals and now face Newcastle United. However, United have only managed to pick up one point in their last two EPL games - a 1:1 draw with Palace and an upset defeat to Arsenal (2:3). Manchester United is third in the standings.

After showing their character in the home game with the Mancunians, Crystal Palace had another very unpleasant match in the EPL. The team faced Newcastle United at home. For the second time in a row, the Eagles drew with a team from the top four of the EPL (0:0). Crystal Palace takes 12th place in the standings with 24 points.

Manchester United opened the scoring in the last game against Palace towards the end of the first half. After the break, ten Hague's players were overly relaxed, failed to capitalize on their chances in attack, and sat deep in defense. The devils paid for it in the equalizing period when they conceded a goal after a stunning free-kick by Oliseh.

The Eagles have become one of United's most unpleasant opponents in recent seasons. Over the last three home games with the Londoners, for example, the Devils have suffered two defeats. Such statistics should only add motivation to the hosts for the upcoming match. The club's leaders are in great shape and take part in almost every game on such a busy schedule. The quality of their game doesn't suffer. We believe that United will finally beat Palace at home in confident style.
